### How to report Profit Margins in Google Ads?

To report profit margins in Google Ads, you must first send cart data along with the conversion. Please configure both the Merchant ID and Identifier Format fields in the Google Ads form within EdgeTag, if they haven't been configured yet. These fields are required to attach cart data to the conversion.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once that is done, please refer to Google's official guide to [report profit margins](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/14944137?hl=en\&ref_topic=14944136\&sjid=284824452501880859-NC#zippy=%2Cset-up-with-google-ads) in Google Ads.
